The Kings of Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

In Brazil, the only album title that have been translated was
``A Hard Day's Night.'' The portuguese name is ``Os Reis do
Ié-Ié-Ié,''
which means ``The Kings of Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.'' After this, during the mid
sixties,
rock'n'roll in Brazil was generally called ``Ié-Ié-Ié''
(Yeah-Yeah-Yeah), or ``Iê-Iê-Iê'' (Ye-Ye-Ye), like ``Young people
are crazy about this Yeah-Yeah-Yeah'' (=Young people are crazy about this
rock'n'roll)

The Brazilian expression ``Yeah-Yeah-Yeah'' was borrowed from ``She
loves you,'' one of the first Beatles songs released here. It tied with ``I
want to hold your hand'' for their first top hit in Brazil.

I read [...] all that Rogerio said is
true. So I decided to tell a thing about Beatles in Brazil too:

At first, people didn't know who they were, because they didn't get
much information about the fab four. But anyway a group called 'Renato e seus
Blue Caps' or 'Renato and his blue caps' took the song "I should have known
better" and sang it at this title "Menina Linda" or "Beautiful girl". It made
great success. After that, many Brazilian singers decided to do the same
thing. Some examples: "Help" became "Vem"(Come). "Lucy in the Sky with
Diamonds" became "Voc ainda pode sonhar"(You can still dream), and so on. In
my personal opinion, I think that these new versions aren't good. I don't
change the Beatles for nothing!!! Well, that's all. Thanks...
